JOHN FLEMING, Esq., of Claremont, Deputy Chairman of the Company, took the Chair, ex officio. The advertisement coffin the Meeting, and the clauses in the Act relating to the business to be brought before it, were read. The Secretary produced a list of the Shareholders, which, on the motion of Gitoncn MORE NISBETT, Esq., of Cairnhill, seconded by JOHN 111tvcitELL, Esq., Glasgow, was sealed by the corporate seal of the Company. The Secretary then read to the Meeting the Report of the Directors. It was moved by JAMES BooLE, jun., Esq., Merchant in Glasgow, seconded by JOHN HUNTER, Esq., Ardrossan, and unanimously agreed to, That the Report of the Directors be approved of, awl the thanks of the Meeting be given to them for their long-continued and gra tuitous exertions in the furtherance of the undertaking. It was moved by ANDREW WILLIAMSON, Esq., Dean of Guild, Ayr, and seconded by ROBERT IVloNTaoliguiE, Esq., of Craig house, That this Meeting express their continued confidence in the complete success of the undertaking, and their satisfaction at the information that was communicated to them by the Directors, that the local traffic which may be expected on the line at each extremity will yield a profitable return on the capital expended, even before the railway is opened for thorough traffic. John Leadbetter, Esq., requested that, before the motion was pa, .11fr. Miller, the Company's engineer, might be allowed to answer certain questions which he would put as to the time and cost of executing the portions of the line between Glasgow and Paisley, and Irvine and Ayr, and as to the traffic which might be expected on them. Mr. Miller having answered these questions, and that part of the Report of the Directors which regarded the traffic on the Ayrshire end of the lines having been again read, Mr. Leadbettor expressed himself completely satisfied, and the motion put and unanimously agreed to. A qtrostion was then put by Mr. Hunter as to the views of the Direc:ors• in regard to immediately completing the line between Paisley ansi Dairy, to which it was answered that it would be of great impor tanee that portions of the line should be opened, and a return derive:l from them before the capital for executing the re maining part was called; but that, consistently with the views and the conveniences. of the shareholders in paying the calls, it was the impression of the Directors that the execution of the whole main line should be proceeded with at as early a period as possible. It was then moved by James M'Call, Esq., of Dahlowdie, se conded by Theodoria, Walrond, Esq., of Caklerpark, and unani :mainly agreed to, that the thanks of the meeting be given to the jearls of Glasgow and Eglintoun ; Colonel Blair, of Blair ; Mr. Campbell, of Fairfield ; the Burgh of Irvine, and the other land owners on the li ne , w ho have promoted the undertaking by the liberal arrangements they have made with the Company regarding the land required for the undertaking.

FELLOW Co U NTIL VMEN,—Justice to yourselves and posterity demands your serious attention to the warfare now waging in Ca na:la—to the circumstances that have originated that war—and how far it is your duty to prevent it. In the first place, money will be wanted and loans will be made, either directly or indirectly, to support the war. Ministers will either demand a direct tax, or they will issue Exchequer Bills to serve their purpose for the time; eventually they will fund these bills; and thus they will add to the National Debt. In the second place, the annual surplus of the nation, which now goes to promote employment for the people, will be mischievously and unproductively wasted on soldiers and gunpowder. Thirdly—There will be stoppages and embarrassments in trade and commerce ; many will be discharged from employment, who, finding themselves brought to the verge of starvation, will become soldiers and sailors, and be compell e d t o per f orm deeds of blood posterity will blush to think of. Fourthly—All those social and political improvements good men are so desirous to promote, will be retarded—bad men will be pro mosed—hase feelings generated—taxation increased—and the base factions will again revel in blood and plunder. Fifthly—The war with Canada may lead to hostilities with America, and consequently to the further depression of trade ; and the despots of the Continent, jealous of republican America and English Liberals, would gladly seize the opportunity of a war with England for extending their despotism and destroying the liberties of the world. These very great and very probable evils should awaken you to exertion in time. lest you pay too dear for preserving a distant co lony, kept merely as a nursery for placemen and pensioners, where Whig and Tory despots have plundered and oppressed the people with impunity. Before we describe the complaints of the Canadians, by which you may judge who are the aggrieved parties, it may be necessary briefly to inform you that in 1791 a Constitutional ° Act was given to the Canadians by William Pitt, bearing some resemblance to our boasted Constitution of King, Lords and Common s . As the representative of the King they have an Executive Council, composed of Government officers for the most part, and responsible only to the Colonial-office, by whom they areappointed. Instead of a House of Lords they have a Legislative Council, chosen for life by our Colonial-office, also composed of Government officers, their clerks, and dependents, and responsible only to the Colonial-office. In place of a House of Commons, they have a House of Assem bly, chosen by the people, with the Suffrage nearly universal, and though every corrupt means has been resorted to by the offi,ial party, this House fairly represents the people of Canada. The House of Assembly, like our House of Commons, boasts of hold ing the purse-strings of the nation, and possesses the power of withholding the supplies, which they have thought proper to do to procure a redress of grievances—as our House of Commons has sometimes threatened to do, and eff ec t e d th e i r o bj ect by their threats. The Canadians complain that nearly every beneficial law which has been passed in the People's House, has been factiously opposed by the Legislative Council ; and that, therefore, no progress has been made in improving the condition of their country. • They complain that all the waste land of the Colony, and all the saleable timber thereon, are disposed of for the advantage of hungry officials, and for corrupting the representation of the people, in stead of being applied to the improvement of their country. They complain that their Judges are not responsible to the people, nor can they be impeached for misconduct as English Judges can by . the People's H ouse , an d t h at b y this irresponsibility flee source of justice is poisoned, and cases of the grossest peculation and delinquency have passed unpunished. They complain thet the whole administration of government is one of favouritism and injustice—that the revenues of their country are employed and squandered away by persons not responsible to the people—that they are unable to get an accurate statement of receipts and expenditure, and, when delinquency is detected, are re fused the power to punish or prevent it in future. Thee complain that their College has been converted into sol diers' Barracks, and that the land attached to it has been divided between the officials of government. And now, after bearing with these insults and oppressions for nearly half a century—after every effort to improve their country by wise and salutary laws has been frustrated by these united aris tocratic powers, and after repeated applications and P e titi ons to England for redress, they have almost unanimously declared that they have no hope of wise laws and just government until the Le gislative Council is ELECTED ET THE Paort.x. This reasonable request having been scorned and scouted by those in power, their House of Assembly has STOPPED THE SUP PLIES—that is, they have exercised their only constitutional power to obtain redress. What, under these circumstances, has been the conduct of our " 114;roam" Ministry ? They have resolved to take the people's money without the consent of the House of Assembly, and to ray the salaries of these official despots in spite of the Canadian people. And because the representatives of the people, true to their duty, suet and protested against such base proposals, the official party issued out proclamations against such meetings. This further ag gression on the people's rights was treated with universal and de served contempt ; and then it was that the offlcial party seized and imprisoned the patriotic representatives of the people. Under such circumstances the Canadians ijew to arms ; and you have heard, through a bribed and hireling press, that the Government is deter mined to enforce submission to their tyranny. Englishmen! make the case your own. How would you feel under similar injustice? Suppose, when your Reform Bill was re jected by ft-- Lords, that your House of Commons had thought fit to withh dth supplies, what would vou think of the Government party appopri the revenue without their consent? Nay, further, wi.eu jou held your public meetings to protest against the injustice, how would you like to be met with Proclamation Law, and to have your representatives arrested as traitors to their country? Nay, worse :Ail], if we may believe the published ac counts, to have 1,0001. offered for the heads of the chief defenders of the people's rights, and thus to have them condemned-end sacrificed without trial by jury, or even the judicial mockery of a court-martial! Shall these proceedings be sanctioned by Englishmen, and that, too, in a Christian country? If you approve of them you will be silent, and allow all the base and brut4l consequences to follow. If, on the contrary, you possess the least spark of humanity and justice within you, you will rise like one man, - and protest against and Oppose this daring outrage on the just rights and liberties of the Canadians.

My Lord,--I have the honouoo , jaequaint you, for the informa tion of the General Commanding-in-Chief, that as soon as I could collect a sufficient force in Montreal, after the dispersion of the rebels at St. Charles, I ordered eight companies, and three field pieces, to be assembled at Sorel, and to march on St. Denis. You will perceive from the report from Colonel Gore, that he entered St. Denis yesterday.

As we learn from n heathen fable that one mode adopted by the gods for punishing men's folly and wickedues? was IP gratil them what they inconsiderately prayed for, so it Iles tetere t i to us that perhap s th e b est way of tleanittratin l i evilo the Ballot would be to inflict upon Its Supporters a pliticai experience of its maniftild vices and ificooVehiehaegi BM pre* vious to this ) if peradventure it 4hall over he coneetitd, deem it only fair And chat liable to kewart% theitt tff dcrtetj attendant tliftleulties aid dsnittra Which in dor htiettitrit der this crotchet wholl y inlprieticablO. In the fiat pifice s if then Is to tegattd to jultiea and eittiency, fie Middle plan thiq htl tt(tbide.(l between the press ni brode of voting and titiilietsal secrecy. If ?pen wring he it grievance, then we humbly submit that the intended com es . tive for it cannot he equitably demanded or enforced heyond the extent to which that gi h snCe Is ascertained to exist ; is other words, political toleration requires that all persons who do not experience Inconveniency from the absence of the 851- lot, should retain the right, if they think proper, of recording-- their votes without concealment. That many individua's, de sirous of exhibiting a public testimony of their political seutie manta, or anxious to evince their approval of particular eatid;_ dates, may entertain a decided preference for open vol'exg, is beyond all question ; nor will it be denied, tk:4 they are, at the l east , as much entitled to the Ebert ) o f b u i l d_ ging this preference, as are the advocates Gl' the Ballot to the sneaking and skulking expedient under which they seek to poll. ,If the latter contend that a secret suffrag e is essential to the maintenance of their electoral independence. the former nese argue, with infinitely mere reason, that an open vote is indispensable es, their satisfactory vindication, as regards the exercise of reciprocal obligations, their political discernment, and their fidelity to bona fide engagements. If the one be entitled to demand that their worldly interests shall be pro. tected, the other certainly have just as good a right to insist that their honourable feelings and principles shall be thrown under no cloud of p.inful diiubts or injurious suspicions. Assuming, then, that the privileg e of voting in secret were rightfully claimed by every one of those frail constituents whose political virtue stand s in nned,a such a shift, we are warranted in maintaining that the right of the fearless elector to give al open suffrage, if he prefer it, can never be taken from him wi,hou the grossest tyranny and injustice. To force the Ballot upon those voters who cortscientiously object to it, would be downright intolerance and persecution, especially if we keep in mind the fact that publicity is essential to the Moral weight of any vote whatever. Apart from the opportunity of ntalcing an open avowal of opinion, the vote of an idiot or an imbecile person is raised to the same importance as that of a shrewd and experienced observer. The Ballot, therefore, in volving as it does a complete sacrifice of all the moral effect which justly attaches to the visible procedure of an intelligent and upright voter Om matter on wieat.side of polities) cannot be universally enforced witho,li. doing violence, both to the constitutional liberts of iremense multitudes and to the whole some influenee wide": weight of character and sound judgment should always here over the political fortunes of the country. But if it he adthi:tee that the liberty of British subjects shall b. so fir rt spected by the Ballooenongers as to reserve the tight of voting either opeoly or secretly, at the option of the electors, it is demons•rable that the supposed efficacy of the Grote-box for all the purposes of concealment would thereby be completely destros ed. For example, supposing bribes or other ii.fleence to he still practiced under the optional system, it is quite clerr that an open•vote would be invariably bar gained for and exacted as the only satisfactory proof of the elector's fidelity to his promise ; while, by declining to give s ich a test of his faithfulness, he would afford tolerably c inclusive evidence, according to Scripture and common sense, that he " loved the darkness rather than the light, be c , use hits deeds were evil," and would thus incur all the penal ties of alierated friendship, harsh landlordship, and loss of custom, which arc supposed to he the odium of an open suf friige. Taking for granted, then, that the optional system is vistirely out of court, we have but to choose between the pre sent mode of voting, and the adoption of an universal gagyiss bill. The latter, we shall suppose, is insisted on. The proud. est glory of this free empire is taken away. The high rind indomitable spirit of our countryme n shall dwindle P',d de generate to that of a sneaking succumb to M r . G rote ' s threa pedler. British liberty shall d' ledl- _aeship. pragm - tical and despotic London banker shall subject tour entire political currency to the standard of his scale& and to the slit of his till ; and in future an Englishman shall have no more liberty to evince his frre sentiments that, the veriest serf in Siberia. Well, let it be so, and then our next concern is to ascertain how the Ballot will work. On this point we remark, in the second place, that the in vention cf rt, plan to secure perfect secrecy and accuracy in voting is utterly impracticable. Whether Mr. Grote intends to erect guerded booths, lighted from the top with clouded glass, sod containing Ballot boxes inscribed severally with the name of' each candidate, in which the unaccornpatried voter, locking himself is f or s h e moment, shall deposit a label or a we have not heel curious enough to inquire. But, al though nueino.,itity to imagine a more eone , aled I lan of vet- . ing may be ehergeable upon our want of ingenuity, - such, at ail evenrie,' is the most secret mode, that we are able to con csive oi'; .and without pretending to compete Is ith.Mr. Grote's capacity for cunning devices, we venture, with great humility, • to challenge hint to produce a better. Now, with such a plan RS we h le described (arid we know of none more secret), the twofold urpo.e of concealment and accuracy would he coat slete/y fru, trete'''. There is n o l a b e l or trill that would trot admit of some urive're scratch e nark, which the candidate might pre viously etipulate for, as lie evidenc e of the voter's fidelity to his promise.. An Act of Parliament to prohibit this would be wholly iaeffieicul, becaus,, the secrecy of the transaction, as 'sell as the implicated character of the voter, would place the violation of it beyond detectinn. 0:1 the other hand, any clause in such Act to invalidate the eleetion of candidate s whose Ballots were privately marked, would expose every representative in the kingdom to the monstro us injestice of rejection by the un eletrctarde malice of any voters who might basely choose to in fringe it. Moreover, what is Mr. Grote to do with the innu. merabie electors who cannot read ? They would be continually coertmitCng bl un d ers , b y putt i ng their label or their ball into' the wrong box ; and if the coloured ribands of the respective candidates were placed over each box as a guide, what is to or; vent a waggish voter front transposing them, and what is to direct a blind one ? Some of these points are well brought out in n pamphlet which has been sent to entitled, 't A Letter on the Ballot from a Working Man in Loudon to his friend in the Count,w--a pro dection which, besides being cleverly written, is the more ern titled to notiee, as it cone s from a regular town Radical. Several of his details are extremely curious, particularly such a: iilustrate the utter iradequacy of the Ballot-suffrage, either to prevent bribery or to secure concealment. Of this, the Working Matt" gives a remarkable example, in the case of a contest for a vacant lectureship in a palish situated on, the eastern edge of the great metropolitan circle." Tho mode of election ea; by Ballot; the number of qualified voters was upwards of 1,400; the cenclidates were almost equally popu lar; and the intereit ehich the competition excited could not he exceeded by any analogous instance, flying mentioned these fir t', as bri ng i ng the case into a fair parr a allel with a busy struggle for n P ut li ament - ry seat, the writer gives a concise and manifestly an authentic letail of the whole progress of the wonder-worktng system •of secrecy ender which the elec tion was coaducted. Canvassings, committees, promises, threats, open pu'elie-houses, and paying up arrears of' taxes, by way of- bribe, were resorted to with even more vigour and aenality that are usually employed iu an open political conflict. Acoording to a well-known prin ciple of human nature, voters, when once pledged to a parti cular side, an consequently thrown into the buo)ant compa nionship :aid rxelusive councils of even a party to which they were originally not very friendly, felt committed to the con- Nietion (by a natural and easy transition) that their adopted cause was the right one ; and that, having given an open pledge to a certein candidate, they must strive by all possible meaua to escape the mortification of being found on the losing side. In short, a clear presumption, if not a conclusive. p-oof, is ad duced in the pamphlet, that secrecy to any extent is wholly unattainable. We have no room for quotation, but the whole is worthy of perusal. The views which this Radical workman has fouled on the favourite nostrum of his elique are highly erodirable to his sagacity. For our:elver, we place it in pre cisely the same category as animal magnetism or any other humbug of the day ; nor have we a doubt, that the eflOrts of its patrons, tested by nelson and patriotism, will issue, as they ought te do,. in mortification and failure. " The country" (as the working-man would say), "is wide awake, and no mistake." We shall resume this subject in a day or two.--Times. • SINGLE OPEECIIES.—SingIe speeches are not to be thou; ht lightly of. In the course of the preceding Nke tches, I have had occasion to refer to instances in whir;, men who for years, Lad never had an opportunity of malti•.,g a speech at all, because during all that time they had nerer been retained in any case, have, by one happy forensic t'ffort, paved the way for future eminence cud success of 0:e most distinguished kind.

Tkere is now it well• known counsel practising in a certain court in London, but who is very seldom seen in Westminster ILI!, who had been induced by mere accident to make a speech at a religious public meeting in a county town ; and so great was the ialpressioa it made on the heart of a young lady, who was present, that she became all at once enamoured of the speaker, An introduction followed • and that was soon Sue ceeded by the marriago of the gentfeman to the fair admirer of his oratory and of himself ; and as the lady had a large for tune; the ease may he justly referred to as illustrative of the important results to which even a single speech may some times lead.—The Bench and the Bar; by the Author of Ran dom Recollections. • PERIODICAL LITERATURE.—The monthly issue of peri o di ca l li!erature horn London is unequalled by any sinvlar commercial operation in Europe. 236 :outlay porio dical worto. ata sent out on tho last day of each Month, to ev2cwy eurner of thl!
